The Yarrie mine is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 90 kilometres north-east of Marble Bar.[1]
The mine is majority-owned (85 percent)[2] and operated by BHP and is one of seven iron ore mines the company operates in the Pilbara. The company also operates two port facilities at Port Hedland, Nelson Point and Finucane Island, and over 1,000 kilometres of rail in the Pilbara.[3] The Yarrie mine is part of the Mount Goldsworthy joint venture, together with the Area C and Nimingarra mine, with the later being in care and maintenance since 2007.[2]
BHP Billiton is the second-largest iron ore mining company in the Pilbara, behind Rio Tinto and ahead of Fortescue Metals Group.[4] As of 2010[update], BHP employs 8,000 people in its Pilbara operations.[3]
On 25 February 2014, BHP Billiton announced it was suspending iron ore output at Yarrie indefinitely in a drive to cut costs.[5][6]
